00:20 If you're just creating a YouTube username or channel name just because you want to upload videos to YouTube and there's no serious intent, business-wise, then getting a perfect username doesn't really matter but if you are intending to monetize your efforts on YouTube, getting your brand name or main keyword phrase or tag in the username/channel name is pretty important.
